Duncan has made it to the top of the financial world and had it all. He always had what he perceived as "luck" on his side. Anything he put his mind to, he got. His job, wealth, and any women he wanted just ripe for the picking. Life was good, he was bad, and that's the way he liked it.

  Then one day, he passed a man on the street, a street preacher; on any other day, this man would have been so beneath him, he wouldn't have given this person a second glance, and hadn't, until then. Duncan could have never imagined how one conversation with a street preacher dressed in what he would consider rags could change his life... But it did.

(Warning: I was going to write this book without using any swearing, or suggestions of any kind. But in writing this I had to let a couple things in or you wouldn't know Duncan as he was before his journey began.)

A Lover's Noose by reginadebluerose
10 parts Ongoing
Camdyn Marley, a thief - one who'd long made a deal with Death when he'd hung on to life, feeling a noose tighten at his throat, had always vowed to return back to the realm of the unliving when he'd finished his destiny, one he'd given himself, of building a building where all the poor could live as happily as the rich. He stole from the rich, the silvers piling up - counted up to become the amount that would pay for the town he was to construct. For, in his opinion; "It is I who is noble, for it is I who has actions as such, and they who do not." Death had long sent along one of his slaves, Lynid, a man who was not man by any means, to have accompanied Camdyn. Lynid became Camdyn's accomplice - and together they stole along with a band of robbers who kept partials of the gold for themselves whilst Camdyn saved all of his for the building. Camdyn could've stayed longer, could've never built the building and could've forever lived - but he was a man of his word, and he had vowed to Death that he'd return to his clutches once his masterpiece would be finished. And therefore - he was known as a living dead, for no noose could kill him, but he'd die as soon as his building was built. He'd never expected to fall in love. Never, not with a poor girl he'd met whilst walking. He'd never expected that he'd been the shoulder she'd cry on when her beautiful face shed tears. And it made dying all the harder. And he only noticed the flaw in his plans moments before the last brick was set. And he was dead. In mere seconds. But his love wasn't, and she wouldn't let him go. Never.

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.
